Thanks barried! I also read somewhere that aspartame and other artificial sugars are I think converted or somehow increase levels of glutamate...

I was on holiday recently and had alcohol (not a lot) every night, as I don't drink a lot and along with my meds, for the first time in years I slept like a baby, so there might just be something in this story

interesting article, thank you Barried, I think a night cap is in order tonight :) x

Thanks for the article. I'm not sure what it means to me.

Drinking even 2 oz of booze makes me sleepy.

My mind slows way down but my legs have a mind of

their own. Alcohol seems to get them going more. = /

To be honest, in my 46 yrs., I've drank a handful of times.

My parents were anti drinkers. haha.

I am so excited about this article Sodium Glutamate is added to the starter cultures which produce cheese and yogurt. Is that why my RLS disappeared when I gave up these products all those years ago. Maybe I was not Lactose intolerant but was reacting to this additive?

As always, food or drink affects us all differently. I for one cant drink booze, like Yikes.

This is the similar article that went round all support groups, and the one i read.
